Nicholas Galitzine has officially completed filming on Masters of the Universe, the upcoming live-action adaptation of the beloved 1983 animated series. The actor, who stars as Prince Adam/He-Man, took to Instagram on Sunday to share the news and reflect on the emotional journey of bringing the iconic character to life.

“Well, that’s a wrap on Masters of the Universe,” Galitzine wrote. “It has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He-Man. It’s been the role of a lifetime, and I put everything into it. There’s not much I can show you, but I am so proud of the movie we’ve made. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew for all your hard work.”

Helmed by Bumblebee director Travis Knight, the film is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films. The screenplay is credited to Chris Butler, who joined the project after earlier drafts were written by David Callaham and filmmaking duo Adam and Aaron Nee.

Galitzine leads a star-studded cast that includes Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms, Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man, and Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Malcolm/Fisto.

The film is produced by Mattel Films’ Robbie Brenner, along with Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch from Escape Artists. Masters of the Universe is slated for theatrical release on June 5, 2026.
